}Approve a machine request, giving that machine a key of yours
With a person’s own access key, and only for a request that names the caller.
Approves the pending request the short code names: the requesting machine may
then collect a new access key of the caller’s, independent of the caller’s own key, named after the request’s label
and expiring after 90 days without use. Approving signs that machine in as you, so
approve only a request you started yourself, a moment ago. The key is made when
the machine collects it, and only if the approving key still works then.
A code that is wrong, expired, already approved or refused, or that names another
person, gets 404 machine_request_invalid. An agent token or a browser token gets
403 human_token_required. Attempts are limited as for
POST /v1/machine-requests/lookup.

}Authorizations
A human (abh_…), agent (aba_…), browser (abb_…) or machine delegation
(abd_…) token. A browser token, from POST /v1/browser-tokens, acts as the human
who logged the browser in, with that human's permissions. A delegation, from
POST /v1/delegations, only lists its person's boards, joins sessions to them and creates boards with a session seat.
